GST on Renting of Residential Property


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications when renting residential property. If a landlord is GST-registered and rents to a GST-registered tenant, GST is applicable, with the tenant liable to pay under the reverse charge mechanism. However, if the tenant is unregistered or uses the property for personal use, the rental is generally exempt from GST, even if the landlord is registered.

18 July 2022 1. If the supplier (landlord/lessor) is registered under GST, then it will be shown as outward supplies liable to be taxed under the reverse charge mechanism. Liability to pay GST is on the recipient(tenant/lessee) hence no additional GST liability.
2. GST will not be applicable if the residential property is rented out to an unregistered person under GST w.e.f. 18th July 2022.
